About this blog

Planning our holiday to Japan, China, Tibet, Vietnam and Hong Kong.

Spent weeks at the computer browsing sites for the best deals available for Flights and Hotels. I found the TripAdvisor site with all the reviews to be most helpful and took their lead for a few of the bookings. I found some of the Chinese booking sites to be useless when it comes to taking Visa cards and it drove Michelle and I crazy. Not only do we have a language barrier but they wont take your money. Was this a sly way to only give the discounted flights to locals? Not sure but we certainly couldn't get any of the 'deals' without a Chinese Bank acct. Hmm. Ohh well my first blog ever. From now on I'm going to leave it to Michelle. Catch ya

Cheers Darren
